Mogadishu, 07 October—The Force Commander of the African Union Mission

in Somalia (AMISOM), Lieutenant General Tigabu Yima on Saturday visited
Baidoa, the headquarters of troops from Ethiopia, where he was briefed on the
overall security situation and progress being made in implementing the Concept
of Operations and the Somali Transition Plan.

Lt. Gen. Yima held closed-door meetings with commanders of the Ethiopian
National Defense Forces and thereafter interacted with the soldiers in the sector
to encourage them. He also discussed the security situation in and around the
area the Ethiopian troops operate and the state of civil-military projects
undertaken by the forces to support the local population.

Col. David Obonyo, Chief Military Intelligence Officer, who briefed the media

evaluate the overall security of the region where Ethiopian troops operate.

“This is a routine visit that the Force Commander conducts to troops in all
sectors. In addition to that, he assessed the ongoing rotation, the movement of
troops and the general security situation in the sector.”
